Having eyes is optional. You've known this was coming for some time now. If you hadn't come to terms with the inevitable media-blitz bungie was sure to do by now... It's time for the eyes to go. It's the only option you have left.

Halo is a good game and as a franchise deserves its success however I agree completely and IMO (not being a halo fan) Halo has always received too much hype. Theres just no need for it. It will always be successful needless of how many more ads and announcementswe have to put up with.

i like the hype, i'm excited for it too. it's just when i see ads about halo xbox's and cars and certain products, that's what annoys me.

Yea it does seem like a bit of overkill. But as far as MS is concerned I think all this marketting is for more than just the game. all the adds and stuff are also for people who will be getting a new console this holliday season. I also think it's for parrents, who don't know jack about video games but when they go into the store to buy a system for their kids they're going to get the one that plays Halo because they've seen the commercialls too, and even if they don't really get it, they'll just know that it's populaur.

I think the hype is bad for the 360. All this focus on this one game takes the attention away form the real potential. In my class they think the 360 = Halo and that games like COD4 and otehr multiplatforms are PS3 games. The 360 can do so much more and has so many other games out and comming out such as Mass Effect. Also if HAlo 3 fails and gets bad ratings then the entire 360 reputation is gone as some people believe 360 = Halo.

The hype is almost nauseating. I know the game's gonna be good, but this amount of hype kinda makes me second guess it a little...

It does taste terrible, but it grows on you. I hated it the first time I've had it, and since i've had like 2 more bottles and 4 cans. I hated it initially. To be honest I still hate it, but when i drink it, i just can't stop. But yeah I'm not really sure how it markets Halo 3.
